About this ebook
Cady Davenport is living the American dream…
At least she’s supposed to be. She’s in a new city, with a new job and even a new fiancé. But when her husband-to-be hits the road for the upcoming presidential election, Cady realizes she’s on her own—and that her dream life might not be all she’d imagined.
Until she finds herself thrust straight into the heart of the most influential inner circle in Washington, DC: the campaign widows. As friends, they’re an unlikely group—a fabulous Georgetown doyenne; a speechwriter turned mommy blogger; an artsy website editor; and a First Lady Hopeful who’s not convinced she wants the job. But they share one undeniable bond: their spouses are all out on the trail during a hotly contested election season.
Cady is unsure of her place in their illustrious group, but with the pressures of the unprecedented election mounting, the widows’ worlds keep turning—faster than ever—as they hold down the fort while running companies, raising babies, racking up page views and even reinventing themselves. And their friendship might be just what Cady needs to find the strength to pursue her own happiness.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received this book for free from the publisher (Harlequin) as part of their bookstagram publicity campaign. This book and I got off to a rocky start. In the beginning, I had a hard time connecting with the book and the characters. I typically get sucked into chick lit, but I didn’t with this one. To me, it felt a bit like fan fiction in the beginning. It kind of felt like I was reading someone’s fantasy election season. Like the 2016 election was so bad that they just created their own.Once I hit the halfway mark, things got a whole lot better. The story finally seemed to be picking up and I was able to connect more with the characters. The friendship between the widows also started to blossom at this point and that’s when the book actually started to work for me. However, their friendship never reached its full potential. I would loved to have seen more of them together. A lot of the times two or three of them would be hanging out but not all four of them. Out of all the widows, I loved Cady and her storyline the most. She had the most development and was really the glue that brought everyone together. As much as I loved Cady, my favorite character was Parker. I loved his sense of humor and his bar was such a genius idea. Overall, this was your average chick lit novel, just with an election backdrop.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you ever want to read a book about a presidential campaign that doesn't reference things like "issues" or world and domestic affairs this book is for you. But, it is not for me. Way too frivolous. It is a look into the wives, girlfriends and media women involved in this ' presidential campaign" which has little relationship to the real plot - these women's personal lives. I think global warming and the Middle East was first mentioned in passing after page 300. Only people fascinated by the Real Housewives franchise will find this book stimulating.
